The common factor appears to be usage of the IE6 browser. (Some report having to reinstall their Flash plugin as well.) I'm using the latest stable version of Firefox (2.0.0.12) and haven't really encountered any problems at all other than the occasional slow page-loads that result from the "peak period" issue.

I <i>see</i>... well, everything looks ok from my end, and on Flickr itself. So dunno really. Maybe you just hit a busy time (Flickr <i>does</i> appear to be a bit susceptible to problems during "peak" times when everyone seems to be uploading or viewing. Not surprising really, given the number of users.) Ah… I see… well, everything looks ok from my end, and on Flickr itself. So dunno really.

As on yesterday's jaunt, hence the pics of branches and stuff. I find that its only by taking simply loadsa pics that I'm beginning to find out what works and what doesn't (in terms of both settings and composition)... and I just love the depression of going through the pics afterwards rejecting most of them one by one as I mutter the mantra "That's crap... that's crap... that's crap..." :) I think what you're supposed to do is to try to learn from all the mistakes (always been my biggest problem, that) :( Yeah, but the crucial thing is to keep that button clicking, so when I run out of inspiration re a given subject I start looking around for other stuff… even stuff that’s totally unrelated to what I’m supposed to be doing.
